No more whingeing around here of being too cold. We have been blessed with warm air and clear blue skies. And so I am catching up on some needed writing and blogging as it is the end of September, and we are halfway through to spring. Spring cleaning at home and the backlog of recipes and photos to post.

We have revamped our veggie garden as the seedlings planted in winter did not survive and to take the easier route, we bought some ready-to-plant veggies from the local nursery. Hopefully, there will be some harvest of French beans, eggplants, strawberries, Habanero and birds eye chillies soon. Our calamansi plant is finally showing some fruits after last year's drought. This makes me very happy as any Filo would be.

And now catching up on some blog posts, this recipe is the easiest dessert there is that you can bring to any potluck party. The idea to make this was initially to make it for a vegan at work who was retiring. And I also brought this to a work birthday lunch and ever since, people have asked for the recipe and they have made it at home with spectacular results. It's really easy. I love easy dishes. Those that you prep and then you just wait for the magic to happen. Be it a slow braised on the stove, or a baked maple pear in the oven. You prep it and you wait for an hour.
